There are two ways to go about getting started. I will try to help you make an informed choice on which way to go by asking you a question.
You need legal advice on something important to your future, do you
A) head to the library and get out a bunch of books to research the law and how it affects you OR
B) call a lawyer and pay them to help you with the issue
If you are the type of person that would go with option A, then you open up a TFSA with your neighborhood bank (or Q-trade or something similar) and start making a regular deposit in a balanced portfolio of mutual funds or index funds.
If you are the type of person that would go with option B, then you should ask around (ie your friends, parents, co-workers, Google search, https://www.fpcanada.ca/) for a few recommended financial advisors. Then contact these people and set up meetings with them to see how they work. If any of them work for World Financial Group, don't waste your time meeting with them. Sit down and meet with the others to see what they have to offer. Their first meeting with you they should be trying to figure out your current financial situation. If they come to a meeting trying to sell you a product, look for another advisor. It's not possible to know what they should be recommending until they know your full financial picture. They should be asking you questions about your income, your expenses, your assets, your debt, your goals and dreams, your insurance coverage, your health coverage and anything else that would be pertinent to your financial future. After meeting with a few potential advisors, you should have a good idea about who would be the best fit for you. Find out what they recommend and think about whether that advice really makes sense for you.
Just like all industries, there are some good advisors and some bad ones. A good advisor will save/earn you a lot of money over the next many years but a bad advisor will cost you a lot.
